Summary
“Buck,” Chris said quietly from where he was mixing purple food coloring into a bowl. “Have you ever had, like, a crush on one of your friends before? Like a really close friend?”
Buck stopped his mixing for only a moment as he processed Chris’ question. “Um- I don’t think so, buddy,” he answered honestly.
“Oh,” Chris sighed. “I was hoping you’d have some advice or something.”
“Advice?” Buck was trying not to push, but he couldn’t help it.
“Yeah.” Chris started mixing his frosting a little too vigorously. “I think I might have a crush on Andrew,” he whispered solemnly, like it was some kind of awful confession.
Or,
Christopher comes out as bisexual and falls in love with his best friend. Buck notices certain... similarities between the two of them and has some realizations of his own.

Summary
Or 5 times everyone thought Buck and Eddie were cluelessly in love, and 1 time they found out just how wrong they were.
“Wait wait wait…” Chimney held up his hands to stop the conversation. “You mean not only are you guys together, but you’re married?”
Buck shot Eddie a confused glance before looking back at his brother-in-law. “Uhh, yeah, Chim. Have been for about a year now?”
“A year?” It was now Hen’s turn to interject, her eyebrows shooting up. “What the hell do you mean you’ve been married for a year?”
“We mean we’ve been married for a year, Hen,” Eddie chuckled with a confused smile.
“I mean, come on, guys,” Maddie laughed. “It’s not like they kept it a secret or anything.”
Chimney’s head snapped back to look at his wife, his jaw hanging open. “You knew about this?”
Maddie slowly turned to look at him, one of her eyebrows arched. “You didn’t?”

Summary
Chimney blinks. “Eddie,” he says. “Who’s Eddie?”
At that Maddie barks out a laugh and claps a hand over her mouth, which is adorable. “That’s funny,” she says, but then her eyes settle on Chimney’s puzzled face. Her eyebrows shoot up. “Wait, you don’t- you really don’t know?”
“Uh. No.”
“What do you- oh my god, he usually can’t shut up about him. I guess it really is worse than I thought this time.”
“This ti- Maddie, please, take some pity on me. What is going on? Who is Eddie?”
Maddie’s face does something complicated then. There’s a flash of sadness, then she smiles, but it seems a little defeated. She scratches her chin and reaches for her wine, before she says, “my brother in law.”or: Chimney and Hen have the new guy figured out. Or so they thought.
